NSW Police inspector charged with sexual assault

A NSW Police inspector has been charged with sexual assault after an alleged incident at a home in Sydney’s inner-west last year.

The officer, who worked in a specialist command role, was arrested and charged on Thursday at Burwood Police Station.

The alleged crime was referred to the NSW Police Professional Standards Command for investigation in November, after the assault was alleged to have happened inside a house in the inner west in September.

The officer was released on conditional bail and has had an Apprehended Violence Order placed against him. The officer’s employment status is also under review.
